Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

JMO but I don't think the Saint kneel on it. I know Peyton said they would have but I think they would have scored a TD there

If the penalty had been called, rams should have let the saints score on the first play otherwise the saints take the game clock down and the rams have little chance to tie/win the game

Does anyone know of any recruits that are still targets that are "highly sought after" other than Wright (five star) and To'too (5 star)??? I know we signed most or a big bulk of our players in December. Are there any other out there. That are possible flips or leaning in our direction, because I don't see in on their target list.

We only have 3-4 more spots. Wright, To'oto'to and Russell have first dibs. And sounds like all likely to be Vols. After that next in line is Pickens (5star WR) and Jammie Robinson (4star CB/Nickel). Possibility of adding a DL but seems like the staff is good with finishing the class with these guys I listed.

I really hope we can land Pickens

The pats earned it, and I hate them. But yeah, Saints should be in it.

I doubt a 5* WR doesn’t have dibs.

They got help on the second to last drive multiple times

He's apparently a coin-toss to qualify, and WR isn't the more pressing need, 5* or not. Gibbs, a former 5* recruit, coming aboard to play WR makes it even less necessary.

I def don’t feel as strongly about the Chiefs part than I do the Saints. Questionable calls for the Pats towards the end like the phantom roughing the passer call, but they did make plays at the end to win it. Can’t argue that.

I don’t know how to surround myself around anything.

Are you in Heiskell?

Yep.

 

[drvenner]

And similarly if Dee Ford didn't line up offsides we'd be talking about a great second half performance by the Chiefs defense and Tom being a loser throwing 3 picks

Oh...what might have been.

If he wants to be here you take him and figure out a way to get him qualified, like Peterson and Thompson. Plain and simple.

3 knees & a FG / would’ve then left 0-20 seconds on the clock. You’re being obtuse if you don’t think that non-call changed the outcome of the game. (& I say that as someone who is not a fan of Sean Payton - tho I like Brees & of course AK!)

Peyton's playcalling was dumb down there. You don't pass it on first down in that situation. You make them burn their timeouts. You can run it 3 times or call a super safe pass on 3rd down (I would still probably run it) and then kick the FG. If they have no timeouts in their pocket, they still could have marched down to tie it, but it would have been harder. Having said that, the non-call almost definitely cost them the game.

Payton called a run play, Brees audibled out of it based on the defense he saw.

Skirting NCAA academic requirements is probably not simple, but it sounds like he's even less likely to be in a position to be helped than either of those two were. You can't just grab any kid of the street and make them eligible.

Dee Ford lining up pre snap

Not really up for debate between you and I though. It'll sort itself out.

Agreed, we'll see. If it comes down to taking Wright, HT, Russell, and either Pickens or Robinson, I think that's a win/win.

Even more absurd seen at this angle.

Which wasn't far off from the angle the ref had!
Ridiculous.
